[PATCH] cxl: Fix unbalanced pci_dev_get in cxl_probe

[Daniel Axtens]

Currently the first thing we do in cxl_probe is to grab a reference
on the pci device. Later on, we call device_register on our adapter,
which also holds the PCI device.

In our remove path, we call device_unregister, but we never call
pci_dev_put. We therefore leak the device every time we do a
reflash.

device_register/unregister is sufficient to hold the reference.
Drop the call to pci_dev_get.

This is the cxl bug that caused me to catch this a few weeks back:
e642d11bdbfe ("powerpc/eeh: Probe after unbalanced kref check")

I put an printk in the unbalanced kref path and confirmed that it
was printed with the pci_dev_get in and went away with the
pci_dev_get out.
